Walk Amsterdam’s Red Light District with a local guide in 2 hours. Hear how sex work, coffee shops, and peep shows shaped the city’s famously liberal vibe.
Meet your guide in front of the entrance of the Barbizon Palace Hotel NH Collection, at Prins Hendrikkade 59, 1012 AD Amsterdam. After a quick intro, set off together into the district’s narrow streets and neon corners.
Amsterdam Red Light District
This guided walk shows you the Red Light District’s bright windows, tight backstreets, and how sex work and cannabis became part of everyday Amsterdam.
Features:
Red Light windows & backstreets: Walk past glowing windows and tucked-away lanes as your guide explains how sex work moved from shadowy backrooms to legal, unionized work—and how this changed the neighborhood’s streets forever.
Cassa Rosso peep show: Step into Cassa Rosso, Amsterdam’s oldest peep show, and find out how these live shows made the city’s adult scene famous worldwide, long before guidebooks caught up.
Smart shops & coffee shops: Visit Amsterdam’s first coffee shop and nearby smart shops. Learn how a tiny café selling cannabis changed the city’s image, politics, and travel scene for millions.
